Holland Bar Is Gutted; Where Will We Drown Our Sorrows?

First Hell’s Kitchen lost Duff’s, then Siberia, and now it’s with great sadness that we hear from Jeremiah’s Vanishing that one of our top five dive bars, and indeed a beloved New York institution, the Holland Bar, has closed. In recently recommending the bar, Tony Bourdain said that since the shuttering of Siberia, he has been “living a bleak, friendless and flatlined existence, slowly slipping into senility and death.” Let’s hope this latest hit doesn’t mean the same for the city.
